Man Is Charged With Trying to Kidnap Memphis Mayor, Police Say
A 25-year-old man who said he was angry about crime in Memphis and wanted to confront the city's mayor scaled a wall at the mayor's home late Sunday night and, armed with a stun gun, knocked on the front door, according to the Memphis Police Department. The man, Trenton Abston, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with attempted kidnapping, stalking and aggravated criminal trespass in connection with the episode at the home of Mayor Paul Young. The police said that they had later recovered the stun gun, as well as gloves, rope and duct tape, from Mr. Abston's car. Mr. Young was home, along with his wife and two young children, when he saw the man knock on his door through his doorbell camera, the police said. 'Paul Young reported that he did not know the male and his presence at his door at a late hour wearing a hoodie and gloves put him, his wife and children in fear for their safety,' according to a criminal complaint filed on Wednesday. According to the complaint, in footage recorded by the mayor's doorbell video camera, the man appeared to have 'a lumpy bulge' in the pocket of his hoodie when he knocked on the door. Mr. Young did not open the door, and the man fled. Mr. Young recounted the events of Sunday night in a Facebook post on Wednesday under a family portrait in which he, his wife and their two school-age children are smiling. Want all of The Times?

Panthers' Stanley Cup victory parade tentatively set for Sunday, report says
The Florida Panthers have done it again. With their 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, they are again the Stanley Cup champions. Back-to-back Stanley Cup wins means back-to-back championship parades. We can only hope the one this year will not be like last year when it literally rained on the Panther's parade. So when will it be? Fort Lauderdale Mayor said the parade is tentatively set for this Sunday, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The mayor added that it will "most likely" take place on State Road A1A on Fort Lauderdale Beach like last year. The Panthers have not confirmed this. The 2024 parade drew more than 200,000 people, according to the Sun-Sentinel, who cheered the team through the rain and lightning. Last year's parade kicked off at Riomar Street and ended just north of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park at Southeast 5th Street, just across from Hotel Maren, where a victory rally was held. Public transportation was free on that Sunday and water taxis to the beach were $15 from three locations, including the Riverside Hotel in Las Olas, the Galleria Mall on Sunrise and the Hilton Marina on the 17th Street Causeway.
